Judge Radiant Cookware – Review

Judge Radiant Cookware perfect for the modern home cook.

These beautiful red coloured pans are part of the new Judge Cookware Radiant range designed to satisfy the demands of the modern home cook. The collection is made up of a 16cm milk pan, a 26cm crepe pan, a 24cm chefs pan, 22/24/26 cm frying pans and two stir fry wok type pans – 24/26cm.

I tested the pans with some home cooking and top Scottish chef

Mark Heirs also helped me put them though their paces at the recently held Scotland’s Salmon Festival.

Over the two days the chefs used the chef pan and the 24cm frying pan to cook a wide range of salmon dishes. The Judge Radiant Cookware range is made of thick aluminium and is coated with PFOA Teflon Radiance. This combination provides speedy and most importantly an even heat transfer making it ideal for fast efficient cooking. This really suited the type of food the chefs were cooking and of course one essential was crispy skin on the salmon. It’s easy to see why this range is particularly suited to the modern cook. The chefs pan was used extensively for many dishes; sauces, stir frying and braising and the chefs were impressed with the general performance.

I also tested the pans in the Wee Pinch of Sugar kitchen and as you can see from the images the results were good

Perfect for cooking salmon and of course a crispy skin is essential.

Golden and crispy skin on chicken without sticking to the pan.

Brisket seared and browned with the minimum amount of oil before going in the oven for a slow pot roast.

Features

All pans in the range have matching red soft grip handles, are oven and dishwasher safe up to 150c and of course come with the Judge 25 year guarantee with 10 year on the non stick coating.

Prices

Judge Radiant are a great value for money range – on line prices start at £17 for the 20cm frying pan and the multi use chefs pans pan can be found at £23.
